Microsoft Outlook 2007 default Inbox & how to add a sender to Contacts

My friend uses Outlook 2007 at work

She would like to know how to:

Have Outlook open to her Inbox
--- Right now I believe it opens in Messages view from what she tells me
--- She just wants the list of emails that she needs to work with
--- When she clicks on Inbox, the Inbox View doesn't need any changes

Add a sender to her Contacts
--- Right now she is manually adding a sender into Contacts

Since I don't use Microsoft Outlook, I've tried to look up the answers but I haven't seen any simple answers to a simple default setting or procedure
--- Most searches point to creating, changing or customizing explanations

Paul I would be very glad to have her register and post what she needs to know
--- What I didn't mention was that she had a list of 8 other items that needed to be done and I went to the office today to take care of them but wanted everything done within 15 minutes
--- That is nothing new, I see that all the time
With some of my friends I have even brought up windowssecrets.com and created a shortcut for them
--- No joy on any of them yet
In my experience too many computer users claim they don't have the time to take care of what needs to be taken care
